Abstract:

Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a serious complication after joint replacementsurgery. Drug therapy is the basis for the treatment of PJI. However, due to the barrier effect of biofilm and the existence of drug resistance mechanism, the current drug treatment effect of PJI is still not satisfactory. In recent years, bacteriophage therapy has drawn more and more attention. Its application in the treatment of PJI has gradually received attention and some new research ideas and progress have emerged. Bacteriophages are naturally occurring viruses that specifically attack and lyse bacteria. They also have a killing effect on bacteria in biofilms, and are highly specific to bacterial species without affecting human microflora. This article reviewed the research progress of bacteriophage in the treatment of PJI from the aspects of biofilm formation and drug resistance mechanism, bacteriophage biological type and its bactericidal mechanism, the diagnostic effect of bacteriophage on PJI, the advantages and limitations of bacteriophage in the treatment of PJI, and the clinical progress of phage in the treatment of PJI, in order to provide more inspiration for the treatment of PJI.
